Yeah,if their not Gonna Allow Trailering,I'd have to pass. It Would be Nice If They would Make a sensible decision,in advance. To long a drive to just get over there and be Misserable.Never Understood the Whole we gotta leave from the same place in single file order deal anyway.Seems more fair for everyone to start and end at the exact same time anyway.Thats what the Polygraph is for....

Yip checked weather.com...They are calling for 32MPH in Del Rio ,which in my Amistad experience means 40...You will have For Sure one Less competitor,,,Just Not That Mad at Them...Be Careful.

I've always heard a good rule of the wind forcast at Amistad, take the 2 numbers and add them together!! 20 - 25 would end up pretty close to 45, but I was taught math in a small school along time ago!!LOL

fish For anyone in doubt about the forcast; go to Accuweather and bring up Del Rio and "click" on weekend. On the window that says Sat. click on "more" at the bottom of the window; then scroll down. Sustained of 27 building through the day with possible gusts of 50. TIME FOR A DECISION DIRECTORS! Diablo could be a bad decision! Trailer or re-schedule!!

I fished several BC tourney's on Amistad when the wind was as bad as forecasted. Chad will most likely allow trailering and you can fish if your smart. Its the people that think putting in at Diablo and running to marker 20 somthing that come back complaining. The difference between the FLW Falcon and BC is that BC will allow trailering and Amistad has muliple ramps to allow people to get where they think they need to go.

As mentioned, you can put in at Box, High Bridge or Rough Canyon and have plenty of water to fish without dealing with the ocean on the main lake.

If you don't want to risk it, that is your decision. Just my $.02, I'm heading to Rayburn until the front runs us off the lake.

I made an early April trip to Amistad with a buddy in Arlington back in 2007. The five days were there had only one day the wind didn't blow from one the direction or another. It never reached 45 mph, but got in the 30s a couple of times. That was a bad place to be with that wind. Fortunately we were able to trailer since it was just a fun fishing trip and managed to fish safe water. I could not imagine launching at a location with the wind blowing directly into it on that lake. I would bet that Jeff and Chad will make a safety call at the ramp, but I doubt they would cancel it altogether, in advance.

Sounds like someone is going to do a remake of the Gordon Lightfoot song "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"...

That's why I applaude the Bud Lite Tournament Series...You can trailer for every torunament...because they do have polygraph.

See Yah on the lake...!

we had one there in 2007, what was it gust up to 55. I was there They allow trailering. Everyone is responsible for their own judgements if you dont think you can drive in it. Keep it on the trailer.

It is interesting how hard up people get for a 20k top prize or a 1k top ten. I've got more than that invested in my equipment. We are use to 20-30 on Amistad but you get 30-40+ and you have a different story.

I was pre-fishing last Thursday on Amistad, wind forecast 29 to 39. Put in at Box and by 1PM the winds were 40+ with gusts to 57. Took out at around 4 and it was very dangerous at box with a northwest wind, several boats tore up, ramp is flat and with the waves trying to get on the trailer skag was banging on the ramp with every wave. Could not tie to the dock it looks like a snake going across a hot sandy desert. Be careful at Box.
